Re: Just heard that Epstein offed himself

Trump retweets conspiracy theory tying Clintons to Epstein’s death

BRIDGEWATER, N.J. — President Trump used his Twitter account Saturday to spread a baseless conspiracy theory about the death of Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy and politically connected financier who had been facing multiple charges of sex trafficking involving underage girls.

Trump’s own Justice Department announced that Epstein, who was being held in a federal corrections facility, died by “apparent suicide.”

But Trump appeared to disregard his administration’s statement, instead retweeting a message from conservative actor and comedian Terrence K. Williams, who suggested Epstein’s death might be tied to former president Bill Clinton. Williams also questioned how Epstein could have died by suicide if he had been on suicide watch.

The claim is completely unsubstantiated, and federal officials say Epstein was not on suicide watch at the time of his death. He had been placed on suicide watch last month but then taken off within a week, according to a person familiar with the matter.

You have got to wonder if he is going to try and push Barr and the DOJ to frame the Clintons for the death, or try and place them at the center of Epstein's dirty little empire. He had all of his little internet minions at the White House for a Summit and we have no idea what was discussed, maybe it was a script that is about to be rolled out.

Epsteinīs apparent suicide sounds unconvincing, considering that only two weeks ago he was caught out after a similar (botched) attempt, following which his jailors were instructed to watch keenly over him.

Apply Occam's razor. The simplest solution is usually correct. Incompetence or conspiracy?

It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.

Re: Just heard that Epstein offed himself

The tell here is Trump trying to distract us with a tired old Clinton misdirection implications.

Our dear POTUS, ladies and gentlemen.
